How much does tranny need?
I have just finished installing my engine on my 86 GXL but need to know how much gear oil does the manual tranny need??
Also I know that the shifter needs oil but do I also use gear oil or is it a different lube??
Thanx

About 2 1/2 quarts, IIRC...

You can use the same stuff for the shifter housing...

Lol, or until it starts pouring out of the speedo cable hole because you forgot to put it back on

I already put 2 quarts in it but I didn't put anything on the shifter housing!!!
Will that affect anything?
